(r)Evolution

This day has come. I knew it had to happen sooner or later, but now I can tell that it's time. SimpleBeat project is evolving, I've decided to take it much more seriously and bring it to the next level.

First, I've quit one of my jobs to make time for the project. It was a tough descision, but it had to be done.

Second, the amount of study and coding time will increase drastically. Literally there will be no single day I'm not coding and studying (note that 'coding' is in first place). I am re-taking some of the previous iTunes courses, taking additional courses in Visual Design, and setting up a real work-place (with minimal distractions and maximum productivity 'helpers').

Third, this site is going to become quite a different place, I am starting to turn it into more 'Personal Creative Business' and less into 'A Guy Chatting About Something' type of a place. Structural re-design, emphasis on mass-appeal, the homepage. Blog will remain, but in a less dominant role (probably as a sub-page).

Four, the project will at some point evolve into business-model. Not quite profitable at the beginning, but hopefully profitable enough to support me in the future. I'll be starting a company, first of my own, and then expanding if needed.

Five, expanding into social networking. I've resisted this in the past because I couldn't figure out how to do it and at the same time not to be too obtrusive, especially to my friends. :) However, I believe I'm on a brink of finding the right balance and it's time to make it happen.

There are Six, Seven, Eight... and so on in this list of SimpleBeat evolution, so maybe it's more accurate to call it revolution. No matter what the name is though, it's going to be fun, exciting, hard, challenging, and totally worth it. At the very least it's a better life when you're active! :)
